Grilled Spicy Chicken (Padang Style)
I love this spicy grilled chicken cooked Padang style. This grilled chicken is available in Padang restaurant all over Indonesia. I tried to grill this when I was out of Indonesia just because I miss this food and I couldn't find any Indonesian restaurant nearby. Some of the ingredients might be hard to find if you are not in Indonesia, but you can always use powder spices or ignore it although the taste won't be as authentic as if you use all of them. Well, happy grilling!
